When I saw the tweet with the Trump clip about not needing to vote again, without seeing the video, my assumption was it was just the usual bluster about how Trump is so amazing that he'll have the country completely "fixed" in 4 years so none of his cult will have to care who wins in 2028 because things will be so bigly great, not that there wouldnt be an election. Having watched the clip, I still feel the same way.

That said, I'd put nothing past Trump. And it doesn't matter whether he is or isn't a threat to democracy when it comes to finding reasons to want him to lose - there are many, many reasons already.

If that were the case, considering the fact that a key point in both parties' campaigns seems to be that the other side is a threat to democracy, one would have thought that even that massive buffoon would have known to choose his words more carefully.

If a Trump supporter had made this point defense of his statements, my question back would be "so your defense of him here is that he is monumentally stupid?"

No, your assumption that Donald Trump has any kind of ability to filter is what I was suggesting is the problem.

Right, so we are in agreement that he meant those words in the most obvious interpretation of them. I am saying that if he did not intend that meaning, he would have chosen different words, or at least clarified what he meant.

I do tend to think, gun to my ear, this goes back to his whole narrative of ‘we don’t need the votes’ whatever the **** that means, which he’s said multiple times for no good reason

This snippet certainly isn’t why I think he’s a danger to democracy but ya you can throw it on the pile

It’s disingenuous of me to say I think he’s saying democracy ends in 4 years. My thought before hearing it was yours I think, that ‘we’re gonna be so good we’ll just win in landslides going forward and you won’t have to vote’

I also don’t care if that was the message. When you’re this undemocratic sack of **** maybe don’t say words that so easily scare the **** out of everyone who isn’t in your MAGA cult

Dunno man, if this forum is anything to go by, seems that MAGA dipshits are the ones with the perennial grievances and busted fee fees. If I had a satoshi for every time "the liberals" did something unfair to one of the little snowflakes, I'd be a rich man.

So what's the issue? That Jesus has been portrayed as a fat chick? Or all the nonwhite nonmale people around him/her? Or all of it?

Dunno why we need to turn the Olympics into that. Meant to be a gathering of athletes. I'm really not sure what that is. If people are irate, that's a little silly. I just find it confusing and laughable. But if that's their idea of good television and appealing to the masses, so be it.

Whatever they're pissed off about this time, bible-thumping snowflakes crying when their faith gets mocked makes me happy. Compliments to the director.

Meanwhile 24 other people pissed waiting in line for a reservation knowing full well there’s a table not being fully used

I’m not saying Jesus deserved to be crucified, but if I was being denied service and saw that **** I’d be feeling a certain kinda way

All I know of any of this is the picture you just posted, I didn't watch it. I thought it was some painting initially, before I realised it was probably a still from video.

Looks a bit ridiculous, whatever it's supposed to be. I'd just generally prefer to keep religion out of... everything, but if it's supposed to be some sort of caricature then all good I suppose.
